General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC129LC4 is a general purpose double-
balanced MMIC mixer housed in a leadless “PB
Free” RoHS-Compliant SMT package which can
be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the
4 to 8 GHz band. The HMC129LC4 is ideally suited
for applications where small size, no DC bias, and
consistent IC performance are required. This mixer
can operate over a wide LO drive input of +9 to +15
dBm. It performs equally well as a Bi-Phase modulator
or demodulator. The HMC129LC4 eliminates the
need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.
Conversion Loss: 7 dB
LO to RF and IF Isolation: 40 dB
Input IP3: +17 dBm
RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package
